Critical Response

In a review of the 2001 game Skipper and Skeeto: The Great Treasure Hunt by Ivanoff Interactive, Rosemary Young from metzomagic.com said "it is probably best suited to older children although parents might also have some fun helping out. It's quite a substantial game and...it's very intuitive". She gave it 2 and a half stars (out of 5).[1]
